It is a worthwhile investment. A treasure! It explains a lot of Ada and >the library in detail. A lot of people on the list really like "Ada as a Second Language", but I'm not all that fond of it. It's overly wordy and repetitious in some spots. The book is ~1100 pages, probably 500 pages longer than it needs to be. On the other hand, It certainly is higher quality than a lot of books out there and it is the only Ada book I own. It is complete and doesn't really have that many mistakes for a book it's size. It just really need a good hack and slash editor to cut it down to size. Just my 2 cents worth. -- ======================================================================= Life is short. | Craig Spannring Bike hard, ski fast. | cts@internetcds.com --------------------------------+------------------------------------
